Passover Cinnamon Cookies
These cookies are very simple, but so delicious it is surprising they are not better known.
The stiffness of the cookie dough will depend on the amount of egg white used. If you find your dough is too soft to roll into balls, add a little more ground almonds.
Ingredients
- 1 cup ground almonds
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg whites
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Grease a cookie sheet.
- Put the ground almonds, cinnamon, and sugar into a bowl, and mix thoroughly. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff, then fold them into the dry ingredients.
- Wet your hands and shape the mixture into small balls the size of a large walnut.
- Arrange on the cookie sheet (you can put them quite close together; they do not swell while cooking), and bake for 25 minutes.
- Put the confectioners sugar in a shallow bowl, then roll the baked cookies in the sugar until thickly coated. Set to cool on a rack.
